CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

 

This report includes forward-looking statements that relate to future events or our future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Words such as, but not limited to, “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “targets,” “likely,” “aim,” “will,” “would,” “could,” and similar expressions or phrases identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operation, business strategy and financial needs.

 

You should read thoroughly this report and the documents that we refer to herein with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from and/or worse than what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements including those made in this report, in Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors also appear in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Some examples of risk factors which may affect our business are as follows:

 

  our lack of significant revenues, positive cash flow and history of losses,
     
  market acceptance of our products and competition;
     
  our ability to attract and retain customers for existing and new products;

 

our ability to effectively maintain and update our technology and product and service portfolio;

 

our reliance on third party software and developers;

 

breaches of network or IT security and presentation attacks;

 

  our ability to hire and retain key personnel and additional talent;
     
  our ability to raise capital under acceptable terms;
     
  our ability to maintain listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market;
     
  our ability to adequately protect our intellectual property, or the loss of some of our intellectual property rights through costly litigation or administrative proceedings;
     
  our ability to operate in non-US markets;
     
  the impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic;
     
  the impact of the war in Ukraine;
     
  stock price and market volatility and the risk of securities litigation;
     
  legislation and government regulation; and
     
  general economic conditions, inflation and access to capital.

 

Other sections of this report include additional factors which could adversely impact our business and financial performance. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Except for our ongoing obligations to disclose material information under the Federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements, to report events or to report the occurrence of unanticipated events. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report, and you should not rely on these statements without also considering the risks and uncertainties associated with these statements and our business.

authID INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

In the opinion of Management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which we considered as necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future periods or the full year.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of authID Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries MultiPay S.A.S., ID Solutions, Inc., FIN Holdings Inc., Ipsidy Enterprises Limited and authID Gaming Inc. (collectively the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Going Concern

 

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $156.0 million. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company earned revenue from continuing operations of approximately $0.04 million and $0.07 million, used approximately $2.0 million and $4.2 million to fund its operations, and incurred a net loss of approximately $10.7 million and $15.9 million, respectively.

 

The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon financial support from the Company’s stockholders and noteholders, the ability of the Company to obtain additional debt or equity financing to continue operations, the Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, successfully locating and negotiating with other business entities for potential acquisition, and acquiring new clients to generate revenues and cash flows.

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2023, the Company has secured additional financing of approximately $6.4 million net, which provides funding for its current operations as it continues to invest in its product, people, and technology. Although there is no guarantee, the Company projects that the investments will lead to revenue expansion thereby reducing liquidity needs. However, in order to further implement its business plan and satisfy its working capital requirements, the Company will need to raise additional capital. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise additional equity or debt financing at acceptable terms, if at all.

 

There is no assurance that the Company will ever be profitable. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. As there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve positive cash flows (become cash flow positive) and raise sufficient capital to maintain operations, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain prior year expenses have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported loss from continuing operations and management does not believe that this reclassification is material to the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. Specifically, we reclassified certain expenses from general and administrative expenses to research and development expenses.

Net Loss per Common Share

 

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the statement of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including stock options, using the treasury stock method, and convertible notes and stock warrants, using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options, warrants and conversion of convertible notes. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. The following potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 because their effect was antidilutive:

 

Security  2023   2022 
         
Convertible notes payable   8,278    325,188 
Warrants   497,895    163,045 
Stock options   1,561,070    1,212,202 
    2,067,243    1,700,435 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Verified Software License – The Company recognizes revenue based on the identified performance obligations over the performance period for fixed consideration and / or variable fees generated that are earned on a usage fee based over time based on user monthly user or transaction volumes or on a monthly flat fee rate. We allocate the selling price in a contract which has multiple performance obligations based on the contract selling price that we believe represents a fair market price for the service rendered based on estimated standalone selling price.

 

The Company had contract liabilities of approximately $59,000 and $81,000 as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 respectively for certain revenue that will be earned in future periods. All deferred revenue contract liabilities as of June 30, 2023 will be earned over the next twelve months.

 

As of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company did not have any deferred contract costs for fees payable.

 

Legacy Authentication Services – The Company historically has sold certain legacy software licenses to customers and revenue is recognized when delivery occurs, and all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. During both quarters ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company provided annual software maintenance support services relating to previously licensed software on a stand-ready basis. These fees were billed in advance and recognized ratably over the requisite service period as revenue.

 

Revenue Accounting Pronouncement – In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic),” which replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology for most financial assets with the current expected credit lost, or CECL, methodology. The series of new guidance amends the impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses rather than incurred losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. The Company adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2023, which did not have a material impact to the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 5 – WORKING CAPITAL FACILTIY

 

On March 21, 2022, the Company entered into a Credit Facility Agreement (the “Original Facility Agreement”) with Stephen J. Garchik (“Garchik”), who is a shareholder of the Company, pursuant to which Garchik agreed to provide to the Company a $10.0 million unsecured standby line of credit facility that could be drawn down in several tranches, subject to certain conditions described in the Original Facility Agreement. Pursuant to the Original Facility Agreement, the Company paid Garchik a Facility Commitment Fee of 12,500 shares of our common stock upon the effective date of the Original Facility Agreement.

On March 8, 2023, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Facility Agreement (“A&R Facility Agreement”) with Garchik, pursuant to which the Company and Garchik amended and restated the Original Facility Agreement in its entirety, to replace the credit facility contemplated by the Original Facility Agreement with (i) an initial credit facility to the Company in an amount of $900,000 and (ii) the parties to use their reasonable best efforts after the Initial Funding to negotiate the terms of a subsequent credit facility in the aggregate amount of $2,700,000 (the “Subsequent Funding”).

 

On March 9, 2023, pursuant to the A&R Facility Agreement, the Company entered into a promissory note (the “Initial Promissory Note”) in favor of Garchik, pursuant to which Garchik loaned the amount of $900,000 (the “Principal Amount”) to the Company. In connection with the Company and Garchik entering into the Initial Promissory Note, each of the principal United States based subsidiaries of the Company agreed to, for the benefit and security of Garchik, guarantee the payment and performance all of the Company’s obligations under the Initial Promissory Note and the Guaranty. The Company and Garchik also entered into the Release Agreement, pursuant to which the Company and Garchik mutually agreed to release any and all rights to make a claim against the other and any existing claims against the other arising out of or relating to the Original Facility Agreement.

 

The Company wrote-off approximately $410,000 of the issuance costs related to the Original Credit Facility and capitalized $426,000 issuance costs related to the A&R Facility Agreement as of March 31, 2023.

 

On May 25, 2023, the Company and Garchik agreed to cancel the Initial Promissory Note, terminate the A&R Facility Agreement and Guaranty and satisfy and offset the outstanding balance of the Initial Promissory Note, plus accrued and unpaid interest in the aggregate amount of $929,250 against the purchase price of certain shares of common stock of the Company. See Note 8 “Shareholders’ Equity”. All remaining unamortized debt issuance costs of approximately $381,000 related to the Initial Promissory Note and the A&R Facility Agreement were recorded as a loss on debt extinguishment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

  

NOTE 6 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

 

On March 21, 2022, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with certain accredited investors, including certain directors of the Company or their affiliates (the “Note Investors”), and, pursuant to the SPA, sold to the Note Investors Senior Secured Convertible Notes (the “Convertible Notes”) with an aggregate initial principal amount of approximately $9.2 million and a conversion price of $29.60. The Convertible Notes were sold with an aggregate cash origination fee of approximately $200,000, and we issued a total of approximately 3,563 shares of our common stock to the Note Investors as an additional origination fee. The Convertible Notes accrue interest at the rate of 9.75% per annum, which is payable in cash or, for some or all of the first five interest payments, in shares of our common stock at the Company’s option, on the last day of each calendar quarter before the maturity date and on the maturity date. The maturity date of the Convertible Notes is March 31, 2025.

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company issued 35,365 and 14,612 shares of common stock for approximately $136,000 and $251,000 of interest, respectively.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company issued 103,533 and 14,612 shares of common stock for approximately $358,000 and $251,000 of interest expense, respectively. The number of shares issued to each Note Investor was based on the VWAP of the common stock as of the relevant interest payment date, as defined in the Convertible Notes.

 

In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, the Company issued 17,836 common stock warrants to a broker and its representatives with an estimated grant date fair value of approximately $449,000 which was recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the Convertible Notes.

 

On May 23, 2023, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with certain holders (“Holders”) of the Convertible Notes of the Company, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue 2,346,105 shares of common stock to the Holders in exchange for approximately $8.9 million (or approximately $7.9 million, net of debt issuance costs and discount) of the principal amount of Holders’ Convertible Notes at a price of $3.78 per share (or $4.12 if the Holder is a director, officer or insider of the Company). On June 7, 2023, the Company entered into a further Securities Purchase Agreement and Exchange Agreement with an accredited investor pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue 2,242 Exchange Shares in exchange for $13,000 of the principal amount of the Holder’s Convertible Note at a price of $5.80 per share. The Company also recognized an expense on conversion of convertible notes of approximately $7.5 million, representing the market value of the additional shares issued by the Company in exchange for the Convertible Notes, above the number of shares that the Holders would have received upon conversion at the original conversion price under the Convertible Notes.

On May 23, 2023, the Company solicited the consent of the Convertible Notes Holders to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and a related event of default in the Convertible Notes. The Company received consent from Holders representing over the necessary 66.67% of the outstanding principal amount under the Convertible Notes.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, two Directors, an affiliate of one of such Directors and one Executive Officer invested in $1.2 million of the Convertible Notes issued. In connection with the payment of interest on the Convertible Notes, 1,350 shares were issued to two Directors and an affiliate of one of the Directors.

One Convertible Note holder, Mr. Ken Jisser, joined our Board of Directors on March 9, 2023. Mr. Jisser is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of The Pipeline Group, Inc. (“TPG”), a technology-enabled services company that assists the Company with pipeline generation. On June 6, 2023, the Company entered into a services agreement with TPG.

Credit Facility

 

On March 21, 2022 the Company entered into the Original Facility Agreement with an accredited investor Mr. Stephen Garchik, who is both a current shareholder of the Company and a Note Investor, pursuant to which the accredited investor agreed to provide a $10.0 million unsecured standby line of credit facility that will rank behind the Convertible Notes and may be drawn down in several tranches, subject to certain conditions described in the Original Facility Agreement. Pursuant to the Original Facility Agreement, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Garchik the Facility Commitment Fee of 12,500 shares of our common stock upon the effective date of the Original Facility Agreement. Upon request by Mr. Garchik and until the full amount due under the Original Agreement is repaid in full, the Company agreed to provide for the nomination of one designee specified in writing by Garchik for appointment to our board directors and for subsequent election to our board of directors and to recommend such nominee for election to our board of directors. On April 18, 2022, Joseph Trelin, as Garchik’s designee under the Original Facility Agreement, was appointed as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company. By virtue of such right of nomination Mr. Garchik considered himself a “director by deputization”.

 

As described in Note 5 “Working Capital Facility”, the Original Facility Agreement was amended and restated effective March 6, 2023 pursuant to which amendment the amount of the facility was reduced to $3.6 million, an initial advance of $900,000 was made and subsequent advances under the A&R Facility Agreement are subject to various conditions including the granting of a security interest over substantially all the Company’s assets. Under the A&R Facility Agreement Garchik had a one-time right for the nomination of four designees specified in writing by Garchik for appointment to our board of directors. On March 9, 2023 Rhoniel Daguro, Ken Jisser, Michael Thompson and Thomas Szoke as Garchik’s designees under the A&R Facility Agreement, were appointed as members of the Board of Directors of the Company.

 

On May 25, 2023, the Company and Mr. Garchik agreed to cancel the Initial Promissory Note, terminated the A&R Facility Agreement and Guaranty and satisfied and offset the outstanding balance of the Note in the principal amount of $900,000 and $29,250 accrued and unpaid interest with the purchase price of 245,634 and 7,983 shares of common stock, respectively. See Note 5 “Working Capital Facility” and Note 8 “Shareholders’ Equity”.

NOTE 8STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

On June 26, 2023, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a one-for-eight (1-for-8) reverse split (the “Reverse Split”) of the shares of the Company’s common stock. The Reverse Split became effective on July 7, 2023 (see Note 11 “Subsequent Event”). As a result of the Reverse Split, every eight shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock automatically converted into one share of common stock, without any change in the par value per share, and began trading on a post-split basis under the Company’s existing trading symbol, “AUID”, when the market opened on July 10, 2023. The Reverse Split affected all holders of common stock uniformly and did not affect any common stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company, except for de minimis changes as a result of the elimination of fractional shares. A total of 62,816,330 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Split, and 7,874,962 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding immediately after the Reverse Split. No fractional shares will be outstanding following the Reverse Split. Any holder who would have received a fractional share of common stock received an additional fraction of a share of common stock to round up their holding to the next whole share. In addition, effective as of the Reverse Split, proportionate adjustments were made to all then-outstanding options and warrants with respect to the number of shares of common stock subject to such options or warrants and the exercise prices thereof, as well as to the conversion price under the remaining Convertible Notes. The impact of this change in capital structure has been retroactively applied to all periods presented herein.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Overview 

 

authID Inc. is a leading provider of secure, authentication solutions delivered by our easy to integrate Verified platform. Our Verified platform binds strong passwordless authentication with biometric identity, which offers our customers a streamlined path to zero trust architecture. Verified FIDO2 passwordless authentication is certified by the FIDO Alliance to be compliant and interoperable with FIDO specifications.

 

The explosive growth in online and mobile commerce, telemedicine, remote working and digital activities of all descriptions is self-evident to everyone who lived through the Covid 19 pandemic since 2020. Identity theft, phishing attacks, spear-phishing, password vulnerabilities, account takeovers, benefits fraud - it seems like these words have entered our daily lexicon overnight. These are significant impediments to the operations and growth of any business or organization, and dealing with the risks and consequences of these criminal activities has created significant friction in both time, cost and lost opportunity. Consider all the outdated methods that organizations have implemented in order to prevent fraud. The requests to receive and enter one-time passwords, that can be easily hijacked. The vulnerable security questions you get asked – whether on-line or when reaching out to a call center – what was your first pet’s name? who was your best friend in high school? These steps all add up to friction, making it difficult for consumers to login, transact and execute daily tasks, with little added protection from fraud. Surely there is a better way to address these challenges? authID believes there is.

 

authID provides secure, facial biometric, identity verification, and strong customer authentication. We maintain a global, cloud-based Verified platform for our enterprise customers or employees to enable their users to easily verify and authenticate their identity through a mobile device or desktop (with camera) of their choosing (without requiring dedicated hardware, or authentication apps). We can help our customers establish a proven identity, creating a root of trust that ensures the highest level of assurance for our passwordless login and step-up verification products. Our system enables participants to consent to transactions using their biometric information with a digitally signed authentication response, embedding the underlying transaction data and each user’s identity attributes within every electronic transaction message processed through our platform.

 

Digital transformation across all market segments requires trusted identity. Our identity platform offers innovative solutions that are flexible, fast and easy to integrate and offer seamless user experiences. authID’s products help advance digital transformation efforts without the fear of identity fraud, while delivering frictionless user experiences. We believe that it is also essential that electronic transactions have an audit trail, proving that the identity of the individual was duly authenticated. Our platform provides biometric and multi-factor identity software, which are intended to establish, authenticate and verify identity across a wide range of use cases and electronic transactions.

 

authID’s products focus on the broad requirement for enabling frictionless commerce by allowing an entity to instantly “Recognise their Customer”, their Employee or their Member. Organizations of all descriptions require cost-effective and secure means of growing their business while mitigating identity fraud. We aim to offer our enterprise customers products that can be integrated easily into each of their business and organizational operations, in order to facilitate their adoption and enhance the end user customer experience.

 

Our management believes that some of the advantages of our Verified Platform approach are the ability to leverage the platform to support a variety of vertical markets and the adaptability of the platform to the requirements of new markets and new products requiring cost-effective, secure, and configurable mobile solutions. Our target markets include cybersecurity, workforce, banking, fintech and other disrupters of traditional commerce, small and medium sized businesses, and system integrators working with government and Fortune 1000 enterprises. At its core, the Company’s offering, combining its proprietary and acquired biometric and artificial intelligence technologies (or AI), is intended to facilitate frictionless commerce, whether in the physical or digital world. The Company intends to increase its investment in developing, patenting and acquiring the various elements necessary to enhance the platform, which are intended to allow us to achieve our goals. One of the principal intended areas of investment is to enhance and expand our use of artificial intelligence in proprietary software, that we believe will increase our value to enterprise customers and stockholders alike.

Going Concern

 

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report have been prepared in accordance with United States GAAP assuming the Company will continue on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next year following the issuance date of these financial statements.

 

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $156.0 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company earned revenue of approximately $0.07 million, used $4.2 million to fund its operations, and incurred a net loss from continuing operations of approximately $10.9 million. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon financial support from the Company’s stockholders and noteholders, the ability of the Company to obtain additional debt or equity financing to continue operations, the Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, successfully locating and negotiating with other business entities for potential acquisition and /or acquiring new clients to generate revenues and cash flows.

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2023, the Company has secured additional financing of approximately $6.4 million net, which provides funding for its current operations as it continues to invest in its product, people, and technology. Although there is no guarantee, the Company projects that the investments will lead to revenue expansion thereby reducing liquidity needs. However, in order to further implement its business plan and satisfy its working capital requirements, the Company will need to raise additional capital. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise additional equity or debt financing at acceptable terms, if at all.

 

There is no assurance that the Company will ever be profitable. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. As there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve positive cash flows (become cash flow profitable) and raise sufficient capital to maintain operations, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Adjusted EBITDA

 

This discussion includes information about Adjusted EBITDA that is not prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and is not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure is included below. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents GAAP net income (loss) adjusted to exclude (1) interest expense and debt discount and debt issuance costs amortization expense, (2) interest income, (3) provision for income taxes, (4) depreciation and amortization, (5) stock-based compensation expense (stock options) and (6) loss on debt extinguishment, and conversion expense on exchange of Convertible Notes and certain other items management believes affect the comparability of operating results. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA, when viewed with our results under GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations, provides useful information about our period-over-period results. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because management believes it provides additional information with respect to the performance of our fundamental business activities and is also frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of comparable companies. We also rely on Adjusted EBITDA as a primary measure to review and assess the operating performance of our company and our management, and it will be a focus as we invest in and grow the business. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation from, or as a substitute for, analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

 

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

 

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

 

Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

 

Adjusted EBITDA does not include the impact of certain charges or gains resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations.

 

Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA only as a supplement to our GAAP results.

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022 – Continuing Operations

 

Revenues, net

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company’s revenues from Verified software licenses were approximately $36,000 and $72,000 compared to approximately $51,000 and $87,000 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. Verified software license revenue decreased due to certain one-time revenue customers in prior year periods.

 

Legacy authentication services revenues were approximately $1,000 and $3,000, respectively during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to approximately $15,000 and $145,000, respectively for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022. Revenue from Legacy authentication services dropped significantly as the Company phased out older product offerings in 2022.

 

General and administrative expenses

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, general and administrative expense decreased by approximately $2.1 million and $2.5 million principally due to the Company’s Labor Reduction Plan and other cost saving measures resulting in lower headcount costs and lower third party vendors costs.

 

Research and development expenses

 

During the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 compared to June 30, 2022, research and development expenses decreased by approximately $0.9 million and $1.2 million as the Company implemented the Labor Reduction Plan and decreased staffing and third party resources.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to June 30, 2022, depreciation and amortization expense was approximately $0.2 and $0.3 million less as the Company reduced the value of certain legacy business asset values.

 

Interest expense, net

 

Interest expense, net includes interest expense, debt issuance and discount amortization expense. Interest expense decreased by approximately $0.2 million during the three month period ended June 30, 2023 compared to June 30, 2022 principally due to the exchange of Convertible Notes for common stock in May 2023. Interest expense increased by approximately $0.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 due to the issuance of $9.2 million of Convertible Notes in late March 2022.

 

Loss on debt extinguishment

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, loss on debt extinguishment increased by approximately $0.4 million due to the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the Initial Promissory Note as the note balance was capitalized and extinguished in the periods. See Note 5 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements “Working Capital Facility”.

 

Conversion expense

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, conversion expense was approximately $7.5 million compared to $0 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 as a result of the additional shares issued by the Company in exchange for the Convertible Notes, above the number of shares that the Holders would have received upon conversion at the original conversion price under the Convertible Notes. See Note 6 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements “Convertible Notes Payable”.

 

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022 – Discontinued Operations

 

On May 4, 2022, the Board approved a plan to exit from certain non-core activities comprising the MultiPay correspondent bank, payments services in Colombia and the Card Plus cards manufacturing and printing business in South Africa.

 

Cards Plus business in South Africa

 

On August 29, 2022, the Company completed the sale of Cards Plus business for a price of $300,000, less $3,272 in costs to sell, and recognized a loss of $188,247 from the transaction. Of the $300,000 gross proceeds, $150,000 was paid on closing and the remaining $150,000 is expected to be paid in a year, which is currently recorded in other current assets as of June 30, 2023.

 

25

 

 

MultiPay business in Colombia

 

On June 30, 2023, the Company completed the sale of MultiPay business software for a price of approximately $96,000 including VAT, less $20,000 in fixed assets write-off, and recognized approximately $216,000 net gain from the transaction. The gross proceeds is currently recorded in other current assets as of June 30, 2023.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company has approximately $6.0 million of cash on hand and approximately $5.5 million of working capital as of June 30, 2023.

 

Cash used in operating activities was approximately $4.2 million and $6.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

Cash flows from investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $0 and cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $30,000 for certain fixed assets and intangible assets purchases.

 

Cash provided by financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2023 consisted of approximately $6.4 million in proceeds from the sale of common stock, net of offering costs, and $0.5 million initial drawdown net of debt issuance costs under the Company’s A&R Facility Agreement.

 

Cash provided by financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2022 consisted of approximately $3.1 million net proceeds from sale of common stock, net of offering costs and approximately $8 million net proceeds from issuance of Convertible Notes.

 

There is no guarantee that our current business plan will not change, and as a result of such change, we will need additional capital to implement such business plan. Further, assuming we achieve our expected growth plan, of which there is no guarantee, we will need additional capital to implement growth beyond our current business plan.

 

Covid 19

 

Covid-19 emerged globally in December 2019, and it has been declared a pandemic. Covid-19 is still impacting customers, business, results and financial condition throughout the world. The Company’s day-to-day operations have been impacted differently depending on geographic location and services that are being performed. The Company cannot predict the potential impact of any future pandemics.

  

Ukraine

 

The ongoing war in Ukraine may impact the Company and its operations in a number of different ways, which are yet to be fully assessed and are therefore causing uncertainty. The Company works with third party sub-contractors for outsourced services, including software engineering and development, some of whom are based in Eastern Europe, including Ukraine. The Company also works with outsourced engineers and developers and third-party providers in other parts of the world, including the United States, Eastern Europe and Pakistan. While the continuing impact of this conflict and the response of the United States and other countries to it by means of trade and economic sanctions, or other actions is still unknown, any disruption of our ability to work with such contractors caused by this conflict could require the Company to seek alternative sub-contractors at short notice, which may give rise to additional costs and delays in delivering software and product upgrades.

 

26

 

 

The uncertainty impacting and potential interruption in energy and other supply chains resulting from military hostilities in Europe and the response of the United States and other countries to it by means of trade and economic sanctions, or other actions, may give rise to increases in costs of goods and services generally and may impact the market for our products as prospective customers reconsider additional capital expenditure, or other investment plans until the situation becomes clearer. On the other hand, the threat of increased cyber-attacks from Russia or other countries may prompt enterprises to adopt additional security measures such as those offered by the Company.

 

For so long as the hostilities continue and perhaps even thereafter as the situation in Europe unfolds, we may see increased volatility in financial markets which may make it more difficult for the Company to raise additional capital at the time when it needs to do so, or for financing to be available on acceptable terms. All or any of these risks separately, or in combination, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is deemed by our management to be material to investors.

 

Recent Accounting Policies

 

The recent material accounting policies that may be the most critical to understanding of the financial results and conditions are discussed in Note 1 of the unaudited financial statements.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to include disclosure under this item.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based on the evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2023, as a result of a material weakness discussed below, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the report that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.

 

Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2023, the Company identified a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting related to the review of accounting treatment for the Convertible Notes conversion transaction, which occurred during the period. The Convertible Note conversion transaction which gave rise to this issue (See Note 6 “Convertible Notes Payable”) was a complex and infrequent transaction, which requires particular accounting treatment. The correct accounting treatment was not immediately identified by the Company, due to the Company’s limited resources available for advanced technical analysis and advice, similar to other companies of our size. The correct accounting treatment was identified and reflected prior to filing of the quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and no previously published financial statements were impacted by this issue.

 

Our plan to remediate this material weakness is to undertake a review of the Company’s activities during each quarter in order to identify any potential complex accounting matters and then to engage a CPA advisory firm to review the proposed accounting treatment on any complex accounting matters that may arise in the future.

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

 

27

 

 

PART II

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

From time to time, the Company is a party to various legal or administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While any litigation contains an element of uncertainty, we have no reason to believe the outcome of such proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

Risk factors describing the major risks to our business can be found under Item 1A, “Risk Factors”, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Except as set forth below, which discusses a material weakness in our control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2023, there has been no material change in our risk factors from those previously discussed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. We operate in a business environment that is sensitive to political, economic and regulatory uncertainty, including with respect to cybersecurity and infrastructure investment, all of which may also be compounded by any future global impact from the COVID-19 pandemic, the continuing war in Ukraine and inflationary pressures, rising energy prices and increases in interest rates (see “Covid 19” and “Ukraine” above).

 

Our business is subject to changing regulations regarding corporate governance, disclosure controls, internal control over financial reporting and other compliance areas that will increase both our costs and the risk of noncompliance. If we fail to comply with these regulations, we could face difficulties in preparing and filing timely and accurate financial reports.

 

We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Dodd-Frank Act. We are also subject to the corporate governance and other listing rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. Maintaining compliance with these rules and regulations, particularly after we cease to be an emerging growth company, will increase our legal, accounting and financial compliance costs, will make some activities more difficult, time-consuming and costly and may also place increased strain on our personnel, systems and resources.

 

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and at the time we cease to be an emerging growth company and a smaller reporting company, we will be required to provide attestation that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures by our registered public accounting firm. Any failure to develop or maintain effective controls, or any difficulties encountered in their implementation or improvement, could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. Any failure to implement and maintain effective internal control also could adversely affect the results of periodic management evaluations regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting that are required to include in our periodic reports filed with the SEC, under Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act or the annual auditor attestation reports regarding effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting that we will be required to include in our periodic reports filed with the SEC upon our ceasing to be an emerging growth company and a smaller reporting company, unless, under the JOBS Act, we meet certain criteria that would require such reports to be included prior to then, under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Ineffective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial and other information, which would likely have a negative effect on the trading price of shares of our Common Stock.

 

In order to maintain the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting going forward, we will need to expend significant resources and provide significant management oversight. There is a substantial effort involved in continuing to implement appropriate processes, document our system of internal control over relevant processes, assess their design, remediate any deficiencies identified and test their operation. As a result, management’s attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could harm our business, operating results and financial condition. These efforts will also involve substantial accounting-related costs. We may experience difficulty in meeting these reporting requirements in a timely manner.

 

As disclosed in Item 4 of this Quarterly Report, we had a material weakness in our control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2023.  Management has taken action to implement a plan to remediate the various elements of this material weakness, with immediate effect in relation to the financial statement for the quarter ending September 30, 2023. The remediation plan is to undertake a review of the Company’s activities during each quarter in order to identify any potential complex accounting matters and then to engage a CPA advisory firm to review the proposed accounting treatment on any complex accounting matters that may arise in the future.

 

If we are unable to appropriately implement and maintain this remediation plan and maintain any other necessary controls currently in place or that we implement in the future and pending such implementation, or if any difficulties are encountered in their implementation or improvement, (1) our management might not be able to certify, and our independent registered public accounting firm might not be able to report on, the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting, which would cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, (2) misstatements in our financial statements may occur that may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis and (3) we may be deemed to have significant deficiencies or material weaknesses, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Implementing any appropriate changes to our internal controls may require specific compliance training of our directors, officers and employees, entail substantial costs in order to modify our existing accounting systems, and take a significant period of time to complete. Such changes may not, however, be effective in maintaining the adequacy of our internal controls, and any failure to maintain that adequacy, or consequent inability to produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis, could increase our operating costs and could materially impair our ability to operate our business. In the event that we are not able to demonstrate compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in a timely manner, our internal controls are perceived as inadequate or that we are unable to produce timely or accurate financial statements, our stock price could decline and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which would require additional financial and management resources.

Engagement Agreement

 

On April 20, 2023, the Company entered into an engagement agreement (the “Engagement Agreement”) with Madison Global Partners, LLC (“Madison”), pursuant to which Madison agreed to serve as non-exclusive exclusive placement agent for the issuance and sale of the Registered Shares and the PIPE Shares. The Company paid Madison an aggregate cash fee equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the securities in the Offering, $80,000 cash retainer fee and issued stock purchase warrants (the “Madison Warrants”) to purchase up to 156,712 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $3.664 per share, which equal to 7.0% of the aggregate number of Shares placed in the Offering. Pursuant to the Engagement Agreement, the Company reimbursed Madison $60,000 for fees and expenses of legal counsel and other out-of-pocket expenses. The Engagement Agreement has indemnity and other customary provisions for transactions of this nature.
